Example of the code, and how to use the variables.

# Argument Section:
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(
description='Input a cisco config file, and this script will parse it out, listing all the interfaces, their IPs, and descriptions',
epilog="extra notes on how this works"
)
parser.add_argument("-d", "--debug", type=int, choices=[1, 2, 3], help="enable debug level")

print("configFile = ", workfile)
print("output file = ", args.output)
if args.debug >= 3:
print("debug level 3")
if args.debug >= 2:
print( "debug level 2")
output would work like this: $ ./test.py -h
usage: test.py [-h] [-d {1,2,3}] [-o OUTPUT] configFile
Input a cisco config file, and this script will parse it out, listing all the
interfaces, their IPs, and descriptions
positional arguments:
configFile location of switch config file to be analyzed
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-d {1,2,3}, --debug {1,2,3}
enable debug level
-o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
location to store output data
extra notes on how this works
$ ./test.py -d 2 input_file
('configFile = ', 'input_file')
('output file = ', None)
debug level 2
